Nonstop Local News · last updated

WASHINGTON — Farmers in Washington have a new option to help pay for equipment upgrades through a state grant program.

The Washington State Department of Agriculture began accepting applications for its Climate-Smart Farm Equipment Grant Program.

The state set aside $4.3 million to reimburse growers for eligible equipment.

According to state officials, the program supports purchases that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve soil health and strengthen long-term farm resilience.

The funding will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so growers are encouraged to apply early before the money runs out.

Farmers can get more information and apply on the Washington State Department of Agriculture website.
